Chapter 892: Clip attack

Outside Changchun Garden, Qingxi Bookstore.

Looking at the impeachment memorial of the Censor, Kangxi's face looked a little bad. This was the third impeachment memorial handed over to the imperial court in half a month.

The target of impeachment was Nian Gengyao, the governor of Sichuan who was in Beijing.

The first memorial was to impeach Nian Gengyao beyond the courtesy. When he saw that the noble man did not avoid the way, he walked arrogantly; the last two memorials were to impeach Nian Gengyao for traveling, and many followers were to shout and disturb the people on the street.

Nian Gengyao was born in a noble family, and both father and son became chief officials. Kangxi originally valued it very much.

However, in this remark, Cao Yong's name appeared, so Kangxi was a little unhappy.

The second-class uncle of the Cao family was better than the kindness given to Cao Yin by Kangxi, but rather to Cao Yong by Kangxi, just to show his identity so that he could speak in the capital.

Kangxi still remembers clearly that when Cao Yong first came to the capital, he was bullied by the Eight Banners playboys because of his humble origin and his family's family were not prominent.

Cao Yong married the princess, attacked the count, and was also a powerful minister of the Ministry of Revenue. His identity was no longer the same as before.

Not to mention that Nian Gengyao was just a second-rank governor, even if he was granted a title and promoted to a first-rank grandson, he would avoid it according to the rules when he met Cao Yong.

Nian Gengyao was arrogant in Sichuan, showing the prestige of the court and shocking the local area; in the capital, he was a little proud and laughed at the stock of others.

If it were someone else, Kangxi wouldn't have been so annoyed.

When it comes to Cao Yong, Kangxi was a little uncomfortable. Cao Yong was a little unyielding and lacked the motivation of young people. Kangxi could not stand his ease and often knocked on him.

His own ability to reprimand does not mean that he can allow others to "bully" Cao Yong. Especially now, Cao Yin's brothers have passed away one after another, and Cao Yong is young and supports the family's portal.

And the one who "bullyed" Cao Yong is still the Nian Gengyao who he has always valued and is trying to praise recently. What is this called?

He snorted coldly and threw the clover onto the table.

Aside from the kang, there were a small table, four treasures of the study were placed on the table, and Zhang Tingyu, a bachelor of the cabinet and minister of the Ministry of Personnel, sat on the table.

Zhang Tingyu lowered his head, held a pen in his hand, and copied the paper.

The sound of Kangxi's throwing and cold snorting fell into his ears. He was trembling in his heart and his mind was moving rapidly. He thought about what was inside and outside the court, but he couldn't find a clue for a moment.

At this moment, Kangxi heard him sing: "Zhang Tingyu!"

After hearing this, Zhang Tingyu hurriedly stood up and responded: "I am here!"

"The decree of Sichuan Governor Nian Gengyao also handles the affairs of Shaanxi Governor General." Kangxi pondered for a moment and ordered.

"I received the order." Zhang Tingyu bowed and responded, and then sat down at a few more cases again, picked up the pen and waited for Kangxi's oral order.

"Change the agency to the agency, and then ask him to make the impeachment matter and defend himself!" Kangxi's voice was cold and his dissatisfaction was beyond words.

After hearing this, Zhang Tingyu felt relieved.

As long as it is not involved in the reinstatement of the prince, after the birthday, the emperor finally gave mercy and released the Grand Secretary Wang Xiao. If something happens, this old prime minister may not be able to die well.

No matter how outsiders think, Zhang Tingyu, as an authentic son of Confucius and Mencius, still admires the character of this old prime minister.

Zhang Tingyu has heard about Nian Gengyao's recent rampant capital, and he disagreed with it. Just as Nian Gengyao didn't like Cao Yong, Zhang Tingyu couldn't stand Nian Gengyao in his heart.

He was seven years older than Nian Gengyao and was both a son of an official, but in the same year, he was both a Jinshi in the 39th year of Kangxi. However, Nian Gengyao's value as a Jinshi has always been criticized.

Nian Gengyao was a juren in the 38th year of Kangxi, and ranked 34th in the Shuntian Prefecture Provincial Examination.

After the results were released, a test-taker revealed his post and opened up the corruption case in the imperial examination that year. According to rumors, Nian Gengyao's father, Nian Xialing, who was then the governor of Huguang, gave the examiner 10,000 taels.

The Shuntian Prefecture Provincial Examination ended with a retry. Nian Gengyao was still on the list in the end. This sensational "corruption case in the imperial examination" was finally closed with "the defeated scholar's jealousy and wrongful falsehood."

Zhang Tingyu was also a scholar who took the exam back then, so he naturally knew some inside information. The court's statement of closing the case in order to protect his face was naturally unreliable.

Later, the two were elected as Shujishi, and three years later, they were both the Hanlin Academy's reviewers.

A few years later, Nian Gengyao was a bachelor of the cabinet and was appointed as the governor of Sichuan. He became the youngest chief official of the dynasty, and was in the limelight.

However, Zhang Tingyu entered Zhinan Study for many years, step by step, and it was not until a few years ago that he was promoted to the Bachelor's degree in the Cabinet.

Nian Gengyao couldn't stand Cao Yong's high position at a young age, but he didn't expect that many people were disliked when he was young.

In the eyes of Han officials like Zhang Tingyu, the reason why Nian Gengyao was a rank-level official at the age of thirty was not that he had any outstanding talents, but because of his identity as a banner, he was lucky enough to enter.

Since it is a blessing to advance and the emperor's grace, he should be obedient and be a slave. What is it that such a swagger is not a villain to succeed?

However, despite his dissatisfaction, Zhang Tingyu, who has been in charge of the imperial court for many years, has already developed the ability to remain as still as a mountain. He moved his wrist and had already drafted a decree.

After writing about Nian Gengyao's decision to defend himself, the corners of his mouth moved slightly, and he was curious about what his face would be when Nian Gengyao read the imperial edict...

In the northwest corner of Andingmen, Huayuan Hutong.

This is Nian House, a mansion built by Nian Gengyao's father before his retirement. It is a courtyard where Nian Xiyao and Nian Gengyao's brothers were all living here when they were in Beijing.

Zhaizi West Road is Nian Gengyao's old residence in his early years. Now his eldest son, Nian Xi, the censor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province, lives here.

In the study, Nian Xi looked at his father and said with a little shame: "It's all bad for his son, which has caused his father's reputation to be damaged."

It turned out that the two censors who impeached Nian Gengyao successively were colleagues of the Nian Xi Inspectorate. One of them was the most powerful competitor to the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Censors.

The censor, who had been in the Inspectorate for more than ten years, was definitely qualified to be promoted to the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Censorate. He was only from a poor family and had no background. In the end, Nian Xi was born and occupied the shortage of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Censorate.

Although Nian Xi knew that there was no wind and waves, if he did not have his father's arrogance, he would not attract the attention of the censor, but "the son did not say his father's fault", he could only reflect on himself.

Through this incident, he also alerted him.

This is just a little censor who has no background and no power. He can even bite his revenge in his heart; Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province involves all forces in the North Korean and Chinese.

If he wants to be a good censor, is he going to bring honor to his family or to bury the family?

Seeing that his son was a little haggard, Nian Gengyao frowned and said, "It's a mediocre person not to be jealous of others, but a few clowns who are yelling around randomly, so don't take it to heart. These days, seeing that you have lost weight again, what did the imperial physician say? Don't be too sensible. If you are so thoughtful, it's better not to do this censor."

After hearing this, Nian Xi remembered the three wishes of the Cao family and said, "Father, the emperor has always been kind to the Cao family. Although Cao Yong is nothing, it depends on the face of Prince Ping..."

Before he could finish his words, Nian Gengyao waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, it's so long-winded... In the future, at home, please don't mention these useless things. If they reach the old man's ears, the old man will have to think about it again..."

Jinyu Hutong, Thirteenth Prince’s Mansion.

The list of entourages who toured the Great Wall this year has been released. The ten princes accompany them, which is the largest number of entourage princes in previous years. However, the Thirteenth Prince is not among the ten people, but stays in the capital with the fifth Prince, the 12th Prince and the Seventeenth Prince.

The Fourth Prince got the news and was afraid that the Thirteenth Prince would be sad, so he came here to visit him.

The Thirteenth Prince didn't care and said, "Fourth Brother, whether he was in front of the Emperor Ama or stayed in the capital, he was always doing his filial piety for the Emperor Ama and doing his best for the country. Besides, others were afraid of the hot capital, but my younger brother was just the opposite. He could withstand the heat and could not bear the cold. The wind outside the frontier was hard, and the Emperor Ama stayed in Beijing, maybe because he felt sorry for me."

He was talking about his rheumatism. Seeing that he was in good spirits, the fourth prince was relieved.

Think about it again, these few left in the capital are not capable princes. Among them, the Thirteenth Prince is also the leader in handling government affairs. Taking the opportunity to get familiar with government affairs is also a good thing.

Thirteen recalled the recent rumors that Nian Gengyao was swaying in the capital, and complained to the Fourth Prince: "Fourth Brother, I saw Nian Gengyao quite polite in my early years. Why did he not understand the rules after being a chief official for more than ten years? To be honest, Cao Yong is a superb uncle, and his identity is not one or two points higher than him. In private, he said that he is the fourth brother's disciple, Cao Yong is the fourth brother's niece, and he is half of his master. Today he wants Cao Yong to avoid the road. Will I have to avoid the road when I see him tomorrow?"

The Fourth Prince was inexplicably upset when he heard about this.

The fourth prince knew more about Nian Gengyao's arrogance than outsiders. Now, there has been an impeachment from the censor. Although there is certainly the reason why Nian Xi offended others, Nian Gengyao was not respectful enough and handed his braid to others.

The fourth prince couldn't even say a harsh word, but he had to coax it with his hair.

"I think it's because he has some prejudice against Cao Yong. There is nothing wrong with him in front of others... A few days ago, I specifically said, asking him to leave some room for Cao Yong for your sake..." The Thirteenth Prince and Nian Gengyao are both people that the Fourth Prince valued very much. The Fourth Prince didn't want the Thirteenth Prince to have a rift in the same year Gengyao, and said so.

It would be fine if I didn't listen to this, but after hearing this, the Thirteenth Prince was even more confused.

He used humility and contempt for respect and let Cao Yong avoid the way. Is this giving him "face" to the Thirteenth Prince? Such "face" is really disgusting, and it would be better not to give it to him.

But he also heard that the Fourth Prince's words were full of maintenance. Thinking that Nian Gengyao was the fourth prince's relative, Nian was favored by Prince Yong's mansion, and his status was second only to that of the legitimate concubine. The Thirteenth Prince tactfully did not say much, and turned the topic to the fact that the Holy Lord was about to leave the capital...

There are one, two, and three. After three "accidental encounters", Cao Yong put aside the matter of Nian Gengyao aside and waited to watch the fun.

After all, he is not a decoration, and all kinds of chores are very complicated every day. In addition, the Sixteenth Prince has already revealed the news that he must properly place his family on this year's list of entourages.

Fortunately, Xiaowu had to study for half a year under the auspices of the Ministry of Personnel, so he would not immediately make up for the vacancy and leave Beijing, so the affairs of both governments could be entrusted to Xiaowu.

In a few days, the censor started to make a fuss, and Nian Gengyao's "arrogance" became a well-known thing.

It was not surprising that things had come to this point. Because the Ninth Prince was there, staring at Ninth, waiting to catch Nian Gengyao's handle.

Nian Gengyao was a fence-bearer in his early years and worked hard in front of the Eighth Prince. It was not until the second abolished prince that the Eighth Prince was scolded and lost his holy heart that Nian Gengyao began to be a good slave in Prince Yong's mansion.

In the eyes of the Ninth Prince, Nian Gengyao is a villain who betrays the Eighth Prince.

Not to mention, the fourteenth prince is now under Nian Gengyao's rear in the Northwest Army, and the two have been constantly in conflict in recent years.

However, Cao Yong also knew that these small fuss would only add some disgust to Nian Gengyao and would not hurt his bones.

He had already received the news that Nian Gengyao wanted to take charge of the governor of Shaanxi, and also knew that the newly appointed governor of Sichuan was Seertu, the former Minister of Personnel who was impeached and removed from office by the 14th Prince two years ago.

The current governor of Shaanxi E Hai was transferred from the position of governor and co-organized the Northwest Army's food and money. On the surface, it seemed to be arranging a friendly support for the 14th Prince, but in fact, E Hai, who is acquainted with the 14th Prince, was transferred from the place.

In the eyes of outsiders, the "General King" who was the most "loved" by the emperor was afraid to guard against this point.

From these points of view, the rumors that the so-called Kangxi intentionally spread to the 14th Prince in later generations were mostly fabricated.

Nothing beyond your heart is beyond your mind.

The 14th Prince and the arrogant general of the young, their compliments were promoted by the emperor, and they were encouraged by the emperor's grace. When the promotion was almost the same and it was no longer easy to grace, they would be rejected by the emperor.

I'm afraid Kangxi didn't expect that the Northwest War would have delayed for so many years.
To be continued...
